weird. i was wondering the exact same thing. however, i think back in the day when your company went under, so did you. now, they have incredible packages which allow them to walk away with bags of cash.

I bet that Bernanke, Paulson and Barney Frank have full time bodyguards right now.. well, Barney may have a boyguard.

in the old days the high rises had double hung windows .today the new high rises all have plate glass safety glass windows that dont open. so they need to find other ways. :)

oddly enough, a friend of a friend already did in fact, take his life due to the stock market. Heard about it yesterday. Guess he lost pretty much everything in the market. Leaves behind a wife and two kids.
